A Sister's Weekend

I am totally knackered!!! (that means exhausted for you un-British speaking people) I got to spend this past weekend at my sisters. And I had a blast! I took Friday afternoon off and hopped on a train to my sisters place. (her sweet husband took off early at work to pick me up from the train station) When I arrived at their place, she still had the daycare kids and her best friends kids. Holy Crap!! Do you know how loud 5 kids can get???? I sure didn't. They are all well behaved ... just loud. My sister, Kim, made dirt pudding for St. Paddy's Day dessert. That was pretty cool. Doesn't the name just sound cool? It's chocolate pudding with gummy worms in it and then crushed oreo for the topping. It made me feel like a kid again and I wanted to eat it with my hands. But I didn't think that would be very good example for the kids. (Maybe next time!) We just relaxed on Friday night. It feels really good to see my sister and hang out with her. Since I don't have a car ... I don't get to see her that often :( Saturday we headed off to Ottawa to do some shoe shopping. I never did find the shoes that I went looking for. Practical spring & fall shoes. However, I did find some gorgeous summer sandals! (I LOVE SHOES!!!) My favorite time was driving into Ottawa, singing along with the B-52's....Love Shack & Rock Lobster. There are few people I will sing in front of ... and my sister is one of them! It's great to feel comfortable enough to sing in front of someone WAAAY off key. But Kim was off key too...so it's all good! Somehow singing loudly and way off key with my sister and having the music blasting makes me feel alive and almost young again! Should that make sense? The music was loud enough that we didn't hear her husband calling on the cell. oops. oh, well.
Then we rented a couple of movies..BTW ... 'Skeleton Key' with Kate Hudson is a verra good movie. I beat my sister at the games we played...WOOT!! It was just a wonderful weekend! I usually don't get to spend time alone with my sister and have a 'sister's' weekend. Good fun! I hope to be able to do it again some time soon. I have the BEST sister in the world!
